Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
This week’s episode is the culmination of the 25 Days of Holiday VGM covers and remixes that were featured on Instagram and Twitter. We’ll be playing all 25 tracks in order, starting with Day One. These tracks were from Overclocked Remix, an organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of video game music as an art form. They are definitely worth checking out.
I hope you enjoy Christmas Day, whether it’s with family and friends or simply being with yourself… and maybe Santa Claus finally got you that video game you always wanted.
